Dental Implants New York City
Dr. Elliot Davis
Dental implants are titanium "roots" carefully placed in positions that were once occupied by your natural teeth to support replacements that look and feel like your teeth. The dental implant procedure is performed at our lovely, state of the art office in New York City on lower Fifth Avenue, between 13th and 14th Streets.
Dental Implant Facts:
Dental implants have the ability to become integrated (fused) to the surrounding bone.
The knowledge behind dental implants is based upon more than 30 years of scientific research and the proven track record of millions of successfully placed dental implants.
Once dental implants become properly integrated (united) with the bone, they become utilizable as the structural basis for the healthy rehabilitation of teeth.
If you have lost one or more teeth, dental implants can help restore function, aesthetics and form to your mouth.
Dental implants help to preserve the level of the bone remaining in your jaw.
Dental implants help ward off bone atrophy and shrinkage.
Dental implants can improve your quality of life.
Dental implants can make a denture wearer feel like they have teeth again.
There are some situations when placing a dental implant makes more sense than trying to save a tooth, if the tooth has a large infection and/or extensive decay and/or advanced bone loss.
Dental implants have helped many people improve their speech.
Dental implants may help eliminate or minimize bad breath.
Dental implants can improve the way feel about yourself and increase your self esteem.
Many clients report feeling younger after having dental implants placed.
Years ago, when there was too little bone, dental implant placement was impossible. Now, in many situations, successful bone augmentation surgery can add enough bone to allow dental implants to be placed with confidence.
Full mouth dental implants can increase your biting power to help you eat some foods that you were unable to eat with dentures.
ItǃÙs interesting that the very first patient who received an osseointegrated root form implant, more than 30 years ago, still has that implant in his mouth!
Dental implants can form a bridge to replace multiple missing teeth either by attaching to another dental implant or by attaching to an existing tooth in your mouth.
Certain condition, such as smoking, may have an adverse effect on the successful placement of a dental implant.
